3 …I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations.4 My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity; but I will repay your ways, and your abominations will be in your midst; then you shall know that I am the LORD!’
5 “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘A disaster, a singular disaster; behold, it has come!6 An end has come, the end has come; it has dawned for you; behold, it has come!8 …upon you I will soon pour out My fury, and spend My anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations.9 ‘My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will repay you according to your ways, and your abominations will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the LORD who strikes.10 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.12 The time has come, the day draws near…16 ‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each for his iniquity.17 Every hand will be feeble, and every knee will be as weak as water.18 They will also be girded with sackcloth; horror will cover them; shame will be on every face, baldness on all their heads.19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD;25 Destruction comes; they will seek peace, but there shall be none.26 Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be upon rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.27 …I will do to them according to their way, and according to what they deserve I will judge them; then they shall know that I am the LORD!’ ”

PSALM 50:1,3-4,6

1 The Mighty One, God the LORD, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down.3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:6 Let the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.

PSALM 76:7-9

3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He reproves you, and enters into judgment with you?5 Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquity without end?12 “Is not God in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!13 And you say, ‘What does God know? Can He judge through the deep darkness?14 Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, and He walks above the circle of heaven.’

MALACHI 3:13-18

13 “Your words have been harsh against Me,” says the LORD, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked as mourners before the LORD of hosts?15 So now we call the proud blessed, for those who do wickedness are raised up; they even tempt God and go free.’”16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name.17 “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.”18 Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!47 “… the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,48 “which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.49 “So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just,50 “and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:10, 17-21

10 … We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.17 …if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

HEBREWS 12:28-29

28 … since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.29 For our God is a consuming fire.

JAMES 2:10-13

10 … whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

JOHN 3:17-21

17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.19 “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.20 “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.21 “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

JOHN 5:45-47

45 “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.46 “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.47 “But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

ROMANS 2:1-12

1 … you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.2 … we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”:7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.11 For there is no partiality with God.12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law

ROMANS 6:23

23 … the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,39 “and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.40 “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.41 “Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming…44 “… be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
